Pros

Tons of freedom. Lots of nice people. Provides snacks.

Cons

There wasn't a lot of accountability and senior staff would take the most useful resources out from under you when you needed them most. Very top heavy with little support from senior leadership. Pay/bonuses are very reactionary - meaning they would give them out based on the dog that barked the loudest. Their QC process is non existent. The work/life balance really meant a few worked extremely hard while the others got to reap the benefits of said work/life balance. They sell you on family/culture, but it's lip service. They put out a survey for hot 100 firms in Oklahoma, but what they don't tell people is that they pay to be on that list, regardless of scores. It was a great place to work, but slowly its morphed into what it is now.

Top heavy management bureaucracy. If you don't have a PE behind your name you're not taken seriously.
